A New Approach to Communications Management Planning Through 3D Web and Semantic Web Technologies
(2011-09)Communication management plans are used to determine not only who needs what information but also how that information will be collected and transmitted. Now two evolving technologies are looking to drive project planners ... -
A novel particle filtering method for estimation of pulse pressure variation during spontaneous breathing
(2016-08-11)Background: We describe the first automatic algorithm designed to estimate the pulse pressure variation (PPVPPV) from arterial blood pressure (ABP) signals under spontaneous breathing conditions. While currently there are ... -
Optimization of Web Services for Cloud Deployment and Mobile Consumption
(East Carolina University, 2013)Research performed for this thesis indicates an impedance mismatch between prevailing approaches to development of service-oriented enterprise applications and the consumption capabilities of mobile devices. The rich ... -
Overhauling Legacy Enterprise Software Applications with a Concept Refinement Process Model
(East Carolina University, 2013)Currently, there are many legacy enterprise software applications in active deployment that are outdated. These large legacy applications are rapidly becoming less practical for both the organizations they service, and for ... -
Passive micromixers for DNA analysis using CFD modelling
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-17)Mixing efficiency is an important issue in the design of micromixers, since effective mixing is required between Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample and restriction enzyme for a fast digestion process. Mixing is improved ... -
